Where Angels lose their way
Chapter 4
o8O-
Now we go to the present, the twentieth century. We begin In the Dark Kingdom (negaverse). The inhabitants have all been revived, and unfortunately, a few new faces have been added to the party. We come to a room where a girl is sleeping with a troubled expression on her face. We begin with the girls dream in a beautiful garden, near a lake, with many beautiful flowers. Begin girl's thoughts.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*What a weird place this is. It's strangely familiar to me even though I'm sure I've never been here before. What a pretty flower!*
She took a few steps toward the flower and picked it. She brushed the petals against her nose and breathed in the sweet fragrance. *A white rose....I think is what it's called*
She was startled when she heard laughter down the trail near her. She hid thinking these people might make her leave this paradise where she was so happy.
Four girls dressed in beautiful white dresses gracefully walked down the path. She knew them... somehow...
One had long blond hair, another, long black hair, the third had short blue hair, and the last had brown hair in a ponytail. They walked right by her with out even glancing in the direction she was hiding, just chatting and giggling amongst themselves. It was as if they didn't even see her.
She wanted to call after them and join them...to talk and laugh with them... but before she did, she heard more footsteps coming down the path behind her. She slowly turned around to see who was coming. A man, tall, with dark black hair, and deep, dark, mesmerizing, blue eyes. She smiled and felt her stomach flutter. She knew that she was in this garden waiting for HIM.
Nevertheless, he walked right by her. Not even meeting eyes. Before she could stop herself, she cried out "Darien!" *Darien? What am I saying?*
The man stopped dead in his step. "Serenity...?" he whispered without turning around.
"Darien."
"Serenity!" He quickly, almost joyfully, turned around now and looked at her. However, the expression of hope and love on his face that had shown as he turned disappeared when he looked at her, and was replaced by a look of hatred. In one quick movement, he pulled his sword from his belt and pointed it inches away from her face.
A cry of surprise escaped her mouth as his eyes pierced her heart. "Da....Da...Darien?!" she cried. She looked around for someone to help her and happened to glance down, into the water, at her reflection and gasped.
"What did you do with her? It's all your fault!" Prince Darien yelled at her with utter hatred in his tone. She collapsed to her knees and started crying, the image in the water was all wrong.

WAKE UP PRINCESS OF DARKNESS!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The girl woke up with a fright, tears were running down her face and she was shaking. After her breathing returned to normal she angrily wiped the tear trails from her face.
*Not that stupid dream again. How can I get my beauty rest when a stupid guy keeps on pointing that big old sword in my face? Next time I have the dream I'm going to tear him apart and then tell him to go away!*
Yawing and stretching, she got up and put on her usual black dress on (I imagine the dress that Chibi Usa was wearing when she turned into wicked lady). She then brushed her long fiery red hair and neatly put them into her usual odangos.
*There we go; perfect!* she said taking one last look in the mirror.
She made her way down the corridor to the dinning room for breakfast. When she got there, she noticed everyone was already there waiting for her. The four men of her court, Jadeite, Nephrite, Zoisite, and Kunzite(aka Malachite) were all smiles, and of course, she couldn't fail to notice the woman sitting at the head of the table giving her an evil glare.
"How difficult is it for you to get up and meet us for breakfast on time!?" Queen Beryl demanded.
The girl didn't even flinch. "Mother, you know I can never seem to wake up on time. I just can't help it."
The woman growled and motioned her to sit down in the seat next to her. The girl did so gracefully, taking her time. The servants rushed through the door carrying trays full of food for everyone. The girl looked disgustedly at the zombie-like people as they placed her food on her plate.
"Well Princess," Jadeite said clearing his throat, "you look ravishing this morning."
"Thanks Jadeite," the girl said ruggedly trying to hide her annoyance.
"Well," the Queen said wiping her mouth with her napkin, "I hope you all had a good rest. You all have a long day ahead of you. I want those rainbow crystals! And I want results soon!"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now we come to Tokyo, in an old beat up temple run by an old man and his granddaughter. Four girls and two cats are sitting around a table silently, waiting for someone (sounds familiar). Begin Rei.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"We should probably transform now, he should be coming any minute."
"I hope this is a good idea, bringing him in on our mission, Luna," Ami said.
"I hope so too, but there are no other options left that I can see," the black cat with a crescent moon symbol on her forehead said.
"Mercury Star Power!"
"Mars Star Power!"
"Jupiter Star Power!"
"Venus Star Power!"
With bright flashes of light the girls transformed into Sailor Scouts. Sailor Mercury, Sailor Mars, Sailor Jupiter, and Sailor Venus.
Luna sighed obviously stressed; she had not had a single wink of sleep since the first rainbow crystal had been uncovered. Her hair was starting to fall out! The planet was not in the best shape either. There were evil creatures everywhere wreaking havoc on all the innocent people. It was more than the four girls could handle. Their lives hadn't always this way though. The girls used to live happy, peaceful lives. That had all ended, however, about a year ago.
Luna found Ami, or Sailor Mercury first. The poor girl had had so much going for her. She could have been a doctor...anything she wanted. But, like the other girls, her destiny was completely different than the one she'd chosen for herself.
Then came Sailor Mars, or Rei. Rei lived with her grandfather in this temple. She had been training to be a priestess when the monster attacked the temple and Luna had dropped the transformer pen in her lap.
And Makoto, Sailor Jupiter, could have been a master cook! Every time Luna looked into their tired faces, she felt horrible for what she had done to them.
Artemis found Sailor Venus, or Minako. She was the leader of the scouts, mostly because she became a scout before any of them.
Tap tap tap! (The sound made every time Tuxedo Mask enters the scene.

The cat's thoughts were interrupted when silently Tuxedo Mask walked in the door. "We're glad you could make it Tuxedo Mask," Sailor Venus said. "Please sit down."
"I prefer to stand."
"Fine. We're here to discuss the rainbow crystals. We have one, you have two and the enemies have three. We want to work together with you to get the remaining crystal before the Dark Kingdom does. And maybe get the three they have," Sailor Venus said.
"Of course this may cause a problem," Tuxedo Mask interrupted, "what happens if we do get all seven crystals? Who gets them then?"
"Well..." Sailor Venus continued, "um...well, what do you want them for?"
"That's something I prefer not to tell you."
"Why not?" Sailor Jupiter peeped in.
"Well, as long as it isn't the Negiverse that gets them it shouldn't really matter, right?" Sailor Mercury asked.
"Wrong," Luna said. Tuxedo Mask looked at Luna astonished. (Apparently, he's never seen a talking cat before.) "Our mission is to find the Moon Princess, and she'll need the crystal that the rainbow crystals become, when we find her."
"Tuxedo Mask, is there anyway for us to just work together any way and then decide what we do with all the crystals when we get them?" Artemis asked.
Tuxedo Mask, now over the surprise of talking to cats, appeared to consider his options. Something in what they had said reminded him of the dream he had been having recently. A girl is calling to him, saying his name over and over, she is obviously in a great deal of distress, crying. He looks everywhere but never seems to make any ground, the farther he runs the farther away she is; that is, until the end. He finally comes to a clearing in this garden, and she is standing holding her hand out to him. He goes over to her, amazed by her beauty, wanting to take the sad look off her face. He seems to know her in the dream, even though he has never really seen her before. He reaches for her hand and she smiles. Then she disappears into thin air, whispering: "silver imperial crystal."
At first he thought the dream was just due to some bad food he ate. But, he kept having it...he could not get her beautiful troubled face out of his mind, and even during the day he could swear he heard her whispering in his ear 'Silver imperial crystal.' Then the sleepwalking had begun, not too long after his first dream. He would wake up in strange places wearing the tuxedo, like the one he had worn for his high school graduation, and a mask. Eventually it became clear to him who he was, he remembered going out and fighting evil in the name of his princess. He had always wondered about his past, and now he was frightened about what he may find in the memories he had lost.
"Um...Tuxedo Mask...?" Sailor Mars said.
He snapped out of his thoughts and saw that everyone was staring at him waiting for him to answer.
He had run out of options he knew, and as much as he hated it, the monsters were getting too strong for him to handle alone. "Alright, but I'm not going to give up the crystals."
